OH GOD I JUST REALIZED. I could have dug a 3 foot hole, and made a replaceable golf hole shaft that replaces with a stripper pole.

Too late now. :-(

I don't know if this helps the value or hurts it. Depends on if the new buyer is a golfer I guess.

You know what you need now? a sandtrap and a place to work on your chips. lol

I actually had a sandtrap in the original design, but everyone said dont do it. They said its a huge pain in the ass, cats pooping in it, and the sand constantly pours onto the lawn.

Here is day two: Lunch time. Fringe area is getting placed:

It's been kinda hard to tell so far, but now I think I see some. Are there any hills in the course, or is it all flat ?

There are 3 hills. I should have put more.

I was worried that there would be bumps all over the place. I was so worried, that I was out late at night with a laser beam checking the surface.

Now that it is done and nice and flat, I realize that I should have put more hills.

Not bumps, but hills. Bumps are not desireable, but I could have put at least 3 more 4 to 6 foot hills.
